The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones are marketed with Bose’s “breakthrough spatialized audio,” which claims to place sound in front of the listener for a more immersive experience. They combine three noise‑cancellation options—Quiet Mode, Aware Mode, and Immersion Mode that blends cancellation with the immersive audio—plus a dedicated Cinema Mode that aims to balance background sound and effects for movie‑like playback. The battery is rated for up to 30 hours of use (23 hours when Immersive Audio is active), and the included USB‑C cable supports simultaneous charging and listening.
Additional features include a built‑in microphone with noise‑rejecting capsules and AI‑based background‑noise suppression for clearer calls, as well as USB‑Voice support for two‑way communication while connected via USB‑C. The design uses plush ear cushions and a metal headband intended to distribute pressure evenly for all‑day comfort. The product is listed at $399, and the details above are based on the manufacturer’s specifications.
